Specification of Letters Patent.

Appncation inea December 2e, 1913. serial No. 809,201.

To all 107mm it may concern f' n Be it known that l, FRIEDRICH Continu., a subject ot' the German Emperor, and resident of Werder-strasse 11, Mannheim, Giermany, have invented new and useful 11nprovements in Coin-Paying-Out Machines, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention'relates to animprovement in coin paying out machines, in which the coins'are singly ejected as in the paying out devices described in the German specifications 195,911 and 212,189 by means of ejectors arranged in the 'paying'slab` rEhe object ofthe present invention is to provide means to eject singly coins which have been substituted for a coin ot particular denomination and of which the supply has become exhausted kor depleted.

With the machines as 'heretofore constructed, when the coins of one denomina-V tion became exhausted the paying out of the desired amount was ei'lected in a different coin either by the coin ejectors or the coin tubes being `vertically displaced, so that say instead of a fifty plennilg piece succes' sively tive ten pfennig pieces were paid out; or the slide for the coins which have been exhausted was disengaged, and a substitute slide belongingv to a substitute coin holder was engaged. The former arrangement had the disadvantage, that owing to the dierent thicknesses of the coins in use the paying out became unreliable; the other method was very complicated for reason of the necessary provision of substitute slides.

`According-.to the present invention the paying out point of thev respectivekind of coin remains the same, only there'is substituted for the coin itselfv a ditlerent one of a lower value, and at the same time the number ot the yejectors operated Vby the movement ot' the paying plate is multiplied by the respective factor. if, for instance, the fifty plfennig pieces have run out, the respective coin tube is lled with ten pfennig pieces, or the tube is exchanged for one filled with ten pfennig pieces, whereas the paying out mechanism is so adjusted, that at each payingout operation not one but live ejector-s are successively operated.

lt isobviousfthat the present invention chiefly relates to machines as disclosed in the United States Patents NonSQlOSQ, to Gauss, No. 913,030, to Menchen,

Aug. Q5, '1908, and

Der'. 1J., woo.

rlhe essential` catureof the present invention consists in that besides the normally employed coin ejectors a numbeioi'raddie tional 4ejectors is provided,v which inay` be optionally operated from the members operating t-he ejectors by either engaging or disengaging them. 'Y

1n the accompanying drawing the present invention is exemplified in several constructional forms.

Figure 1 is a section on the line ier-Bk through Fig. 2 showing the paying out plate of a paying out machine, the J1-mark slide being shown in the position in which it pays out a S-mark piece when the machine is Operated. Fig. 2 is a plany view partly in section. Fig. 3 is a section on the line Uni) in Fig 2. Fig. 1 is the same section at a position in which the 3-mark slide pays out 3 single mark pieces when themachine is operated. F ig. 5 is a section on the line E-F in Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a section similar to that shown in F ig. 1 showing the Q-ptennig slide'. Figs. 7 and 8 are other constructional forms of the paying plate. Fig. 9 is a top view of Fig. 8, the coverplate having been partly omitted. Fig.y 10is anotherl constructional forni of the adjusting member for the additional ejectors. Fig. 11 is again another constructional form of the paying out plate. Fig. 12 is a sectionl on the line G--H and Fig. 13 is a section on less coin ejeetors abovepthe surface of ,theV '-f paying out plate.

In the consti-notional form according to Figs. l and 2 it has been assumed, that the coin container 3 for paying out the -.mark pieces comes into question. T he rotl' of this container has one single camSonly.V

Besides there is, as heretofore only one single ejector T pivotally fitted atl) inthe transverse wall 1 of the paying ont plate 1. This ejector is beveled at its lower end. so that it will be raised by the cam 8 when the rod 5 is advanced.

Patented Nov. 1li, 111.11151.

According to the present Vinvention the arrangement is such, that at the transverse wall 1 and in the samelevelwith theejector 7 two further ejectors 7 are provided. The rod 5 Vfurthermore has two guide pins 10,

(Figs. 3, 1), which are Yfitted `to a shaft 13,

and may be turned by a key ll'loosely fitted to said shaft. -By vsuch means the cams 8 are drawn forward or back on theirguide pins, and held in their terminal positionby j Y aspring 15 acting'on the shaft 13 (Fig. 5).

As will be evident from the drawingthe cams 8 are, at the positionof the strap 11 shown in F ig.4, in the path of the ejector "7, so that whenthe rod 5 ius-advanced not only the' ejector 7 is operated by canditi, but also the ejectors 7. It is obviousthat in this case a 1-1nark tube must have been sub-V stituted for the 3mark tube, before the auxiliary cams 8" are engaged.

When B-mark pieces shall again be paid out,'the 3-Inark tube isfitted again andV by turning theshjaft 13 by aid of key '1-1 the strap 11 is moved back into the position shown in Fig. 3, so that the cams V8" are Inovedrfrom the path ofthe ejectors 71 and only the ejector7 is raised. The auxiliary cams V8 may, of course,'also betitted rigidly tothe rod 5', if the auxiliary'ej'ector 7 is so arrangech that it canbe moved from the path ofsaidcarns. l f j w In Fig; 6, the ymechanism 'shown is arranged for use ,withthe Qfpfennig tube and the conditions are Ysuchthat the additional ejectors'7 coincide exactly with the other ejectors as regards their distance from the respective cams, so 'that when kthe rod 5 engages in the first stepofthe adjusting plate 4t or after thevtwo caInsShave Vbeen ,engaged, theV ejector7 and the first ejector 7 are raised. When the rod lengages in the second step only the two other cams 8, 8 come into action, so lthat then four ejectors project 'above-the paying out plate.

Y Fig. k7 illustrates another constructional form ofvthepaying out plate. Whereas in the foregoing exemplitications the ejectors 7, 7 rernain'stationary and thecarns`8, 8 advance Vwith the rod 5,1here the reverse arrangement is provided. Thejejectors 7, 7

are rvpivotally fitted to the slide 5, and theY cams S, 8 are secured to the transverse wall 1.V The ycam 8 is also here arrangedfto be engaged and disengaged by aid cfa strap ll'and a cam'dis`k12. j Y, l

FigzvS illustrates a constructional form in which the ejectors 7 are guided vertically in the payingout plate, and are controlled by means of two pins provided'at the side in cam grooves of theslide 5. The additional .ejectorsr7 are vertically adjustable inthe rod 5 and project below beyond the paying 4out plate, where they are beveled at their ends; Ilhecains dk are jiitted to a displaceable rod 16 which canl be fixed by aid of notches. `.The operation of this arrangement l are fitted'inseveral rowsy behind and beside i .Y

each other a given number of cains 8', which can be turned from outside preferably after an index 18 into the Vpath of the ej ectors'7.

In Fig. 11 a constructional form isshown, in which the 'ejectors yare .revoluble ejectois 7 are suspended onf'small brackets on the top `plate of* the paying'out plate, and

The

arecontrolled by means of vpins yin, cam slots; Y in theV rod 5. rlhe additional ejectors 7 are 1 f likewise revoluble,.but kare ttedin the rod 5 and have a downward projecting al1-m20. A shaft 17V with a` caIn 8 isV fitted lbeneath the paying outfplatel Theoperatio-nof'this construction'alforin is the `saine as that of the last constructional form. 'i

Theconstructional form rvof the paying out plate accordingto Figs. 14 and 15 -is suchy that the yejle'cto'rs Vare not "raised above ythe surface ofthe paying out rplate but rock out sidewise and when not in use, ymove lbetween the coin tubes In this case Ythe ejectors consist of. a lbolt 21 pivotally fitted in the top plate, having at ythe top an armjQ yand below an arm 23.k ejector 7 proper and 7 ywhichV projects up# wardV througha'slot in the 4plate and is gen- To the is fitted the erally held by Ya spring ,in the position shownfinv Fig. lll.

The rod 5 is `provided on the rod 5 advancing, engage'against the lower armsf of the ejectorsY 7 andjthfereby rock these. To lthe slide 5 is furtherfittedy with noses. 8; which, r

a shaft 17 revolving 1in .beaiingsk Thisv shaftis likewise fitted withrnoses SQwhich abntagains'tthe arms 23Uof the .ejectors7 and rock them, according Ytothe positionto whic'hthe shaftis set. Y p' j Vf' In all hereinbefore described constructional Yforms the cams or abiitments 8, 8 are displaceable, that is to say',en'gageablev and disengageable. In Fig. 16 a construc` tional Yforni of the paying out plate is shown in which all cams are fixed, and the 'additional ejectors 71arel engageable and disen? gageable. The, ejectors 7 f are d isplaceable on their axis 9 by means Aof Aa strap.11',vthe ends of which engage in slots in the ejector and can-be Vengaged and disengaged'into the path of the cams 8 in the same-manner as in Fig. 1 by means of caml disks. v

'It is V'bviou's that the 'present invention iso can also be carried out in several other consti-notional forms.
